thanks Luke for your response. However, I'm looking for a formula or a
function to lookup or extract the relevant data based on the match with col 2
and col. 3. Any other suggestions?

I would suggest the easier method of applying a filter (Data - Autofilter)
and then filtering column 2 and 3 for your desired criteria.

Hi,
I have an excel sheet with 23 columns and 3027 rows. I'm trying to extract a
whole row by matching the information in column 2 and column 3. For example,
columns 1 thru 5 has the following data

1 2 3 4 5

A B C D E

F G H I J

I would like a formula which does the following,
If the input matches the data in col. 2 and col. 3 then display,
Col 1. thru col. 5 or show the whole row of data.
Say I search for
Col 2 = B and Col 3 = C, I would like the program to show the whole row in
its result,

A B C D E


thanks a lot in advance,
T.C
